We have eight minutes,

46.49 seconds until they return.

Approximately.

Hey, that's

school property!

What is going on?

I am leaving now.

You can't leave,

William Jin.

Who are you?

My name is Athena.

The rebels sent me

back from the future to find you.

- What?

- My name is Athena.

The rebels sent me

back from the future to find you.

- What?!

- My name is Athena.

Stop!

Stop saying that.

I-- I heard you.

No, this isn't possible.

William Jin,

born January 8th.

Birth weight:

7.35 pounds.

No siblings,

father deceased.

Your favorite mushroom

is portobello,

but you tell everyone it's shiitake because

you like saying shiitake.

And whenever you're nervous,

you make this sound--

[wheezing]

Anyone could have

told you that.

Last night you dreamt

a talking dog

wouldn't let you into

a night club.

But my outfit was

totally fine.

You're telling

the truth. How?

If we had more than six minutes

and 20 seconds, I'd explain.

Wait, wait. You said

the rebels sent you?

What happened

in the future?

Bad things.

I know why you're here.

In every sci-fi movie,

the only reason people go back in time

is to save the future

of a leader.

- I know, but--

- So, you're here to protect me--

- Listen, I'm--

- No, I've got this.

So, you're here

to protect me

because I grow up

to save the world.

No.

You grow up to

destroy the world.

Huh?

You grow up to become

a half man, half machine,

who enslaves

the entire planet.

That's impossible!

I'm not evil.

I've never even gotten detention.

- I volunteer.

- No, you don't.

I've thought about

volunteering.

Wait. If I destroy

the world,

why did you come back

to protect me?

I never said I did.

My mission is to

save the world,

which means

eliminating you.

- [whirring]

- [wheezing]

What are you doing?

Shorting you out

because you're a robot.

I'm not a robot.

I'm a girl.

Oh. I thought because

you're from the future,

and you act robotic--

It's called being

disciplined,

and you can't just short stuff out by

throwing liquid--

- [sputtering]

- No!

[electricity crackling]

You shouldn't have

done that.

Why?

Because now

I have to do this.

[grunting]

[grunting]

Now, what'd you think

that was gonna do?

I don't know.

[grunting]

- [grunting]

- [gasping]

[grunting]

[grunting]

Can I give you some advice?

Try something heavy.

[gasping]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[indistinct chatter]

[groans]

- Will.

- Hey, Furg.

Safe to go back in.

I can't.

This girl attacked me.

That's inappropriate.

We need to tell

a responsible grown up right away.

No. It-- It's okay.

Never mind. I was joking.

Oh, is the joke from

a comedian you heard,
